Hypergeometric Functions with Integral Parameter Differences
Hypergeometric Functions with Integral Parameter Differences
For a generalized hypergeometric function pFq(z) with positive integral differences between certain numerator and denominator parameters, a formula expressing the pFq(z) as a finite sum of lower-order functions is proved. From this formula, Minton's two summation theorems for p = q + 1, z = 1 are deduced, one of …
